Xanthomas Around Eyelids

I would not refer anyone to the surgeon I used the first time. The dermatologist I used the second time did an okay job except I was locked inside the building twice because they "forgot" I was in a room waiting.

The actual drop down thing I needed wasn't there. I have xanthomas around my eyes. Had them surgically removed the firs time, the second time they were just sliced off. They've now come back worse then ever. I've heard I can freeze them off with wart remover...any suggestions? I'm desperate. I refuse to be seen in public until these are gone and cannot afford to go have them all removed again.

Using garlic cloves did the trick.

If you're wanting to get rid of xanthomas, garlic cloves held on them for as long as you can stand it until the area is raw will do the trick. Mine did come back after about 8 months, but it cost me less than a dollar and the healing time was shorter than the dermatologists.
